Supplier for custom made intercooler pipes?

JungleMartin

Hi folks. I'm looking for suggestions/recommendations for firms that can make up some custom made intercooler pipes for me. These are for the US-made turbo kit on my MX-5 (Flyin Miata).

The original parts (which date from 2003) are, I think, mild steel with powder/crackle coating (not sure precisely). The coating has flaked and the pipes themselves are pretty badly corroded. I reckon it would be better to replace them rather than acid dip and recoat them - I think they're too far gone.

At the moment I'm thinking stainless steel custom exhaust places might be my best starting point. The key thing will be whether they can make the bends tight enough and whether the finished parts will be an accurate enough match to the originals. I've attached a photo. The ends are 2"/50mm and 2.25"/55mm.

Incidentally, the original supplier can't supply any more of the originals, as they've long since changed over to using high strength silicone hoses and they have none of the old stock left. They'd happily sell me the new type but they require a newer intercooler design so I'd have to buy one of those too. It would be prohibitively expensive as the supplier is in the US so there'd be shipping, import taxes and the parts aren't cheap to start with.

Thanks, I'll talk to them and maybe drop in to see them.

Anyone have any other suggestions? It would be good to get two or three quotes.

Souhans in Trim (Co.Meath)do custom exhausts so I'd imagine they could do these also.
